1 egg
2/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup grated zucchini
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup chocolate chips (I like to use the mini chocolate chips)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease your muffin tins.
In a large bowl beat the eggs. Beat in the sugar, applesauce and oil. Add the vanilla, chocolate chips, zucchini and stir well.
In a separate bowl sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sifting gets the lumps out that will inevitably be in the cocoa powder. Mix well and then add to the wet ingredients and mix until the batter is just moist. Pour batter into prepared muffin tins. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool on a wire rack.
